Allison Studer

Notes from some of the sessions I attended:

(Tons of resources and tools here; obviously focused on English but many are applicable for other content areas)
(Some cool tools here.)
(A great session on how to set up a wikispaces base)
(Tons of open source--aka, free stuff--applications. I've tried a few, like Gimp--a Photoshop type image manipulation program)


I'm using Twitter now as a professional resource. I'm following educators interested in using technology in the classroom. They post links to helpful websites, blogs, and articles on education technology. I'm posting stuff like that, too. You can follow me at allisonstuder.

I've set up Nings for my freshman and junior classes. See more about uses for these in my notes above on the Engaging Electronic English session.

A fantastic resource for all English teachers can be found on the English Companion Ning.

I started an account at Diigo for organizing my bookmarks. I've created lists there to keep track of what's ed tech related. You can view them at the links below. They'll be updated continually as I mark more sites.
